No. 16 Rutgers Wrestling (14-5, 3-5) hosted the Terrapins of Maryland Saturday afternoon at Jersey Mike’s Arena in Piscataway to close out the Big Ten portion of their dual meet schedule and to hopefully end the four match in-conference skid the Scarlet Knights found themselves in.
The visiting Terps (5-12, 0-8) were able to snag three wins, but it was Rutgers who prevailed, 31-13 on the back of seven individual bout wins, gaining bonus points in five of them.
As they usually do here on the banks, the match started at 125lbs where Rutgers No. 28 Dylan Shawver took on Tommy Capul of the Terps and Shawver opened the scoring, dropping to a single leg off a dump attempt to gain his first takedown.
